Most of the stories I write are women's stories - but the darker, unseen stories. ”

I moved to L.A. because I didn't want to be in New York anymore. And I knew if I wanted to act, it would have to be in one of those places. ”

We had no money. My family was in Southie; I was in affluent Brookline. I don't know if it's my personality or the circumstance, but it all kind of led to this feeling of being an observer on the outside. ”

I was actually really sick of being a broke actress with a toddler, so I wrote a script. ”

There was a feeling I had when I got pregnant and decided to keep the baby, and I knew I wasn't going to be with the baby daddy, and I was really toying with what my identity would be. ”

I discovered that my biggest passion was for directing, so in making opportunity for myself, I found what I like doing the best. ”

I am fully a feminist in this modern definition of the term. It's innate in my work because that's just who I am. ”
